i love your writing, there's something fluid and minimalist in your style and your protagonist is certainly very unique, definitely not a mary sue :) <3! please do update soon! i want more action between him and sexy dres!! and wring every bit you can get from perry. the bigger the wreck the protagonist ends up, the better dres will look :)

Omg, I cracked up when Carmine told Jude he had "people skills"! lol This is AFTER he practically ripped that lady's throat out in the bookstore! That was funny!

I did feel for Lacy though. Seeing a line of people waiting for you to finish with a customer can be very daunting. And especially for her b/c she doesn't feel comfortable talking with people. Sounds like this other story I'm reading about a shy pastry chef. Seriously. lol 'Cept this pastry guy is a guy.

Anyway....great chapter. Was Jude recalling a memory of when he was intimate with someone? Was he ever?

Can't wait for more! Oh, and I had no idea that if you cut something a different way and cook it, it will taste different.

in chapter six when you wrote "Irish whiskey", you meant "Irish coffee". Also, I still like the rock star seme more. I like househusbands because I'm a nerd girl.

Ugh, why do you TEASE so??? When Dres said, "Allow me to show you," I sat up. Like really sat up.

I felt like the tension was cut short by the abrupt end of the chapter but maybe you wanted to do a cliffie. In which case, you are evil. But I still love you and hope that you update soon! :)

To me, Dres is starting to shape up to be a much more interesting character than Perry. But perhaps that is because I don't really feel like Perry shows any real heat for Jude. I look forward to the un-slicking of Dres' hair!! And about Dres' stressful life, maybe Jude can liven up his future boss' spacious but lonely living arrangements and help him un-stress after a hard, hard day at work? That would make my dreams come true.

Keep on writing!

Ooh, the UST between Dres and Jude is magnificent! They have great chemistry together and I can't wait to see how their lessons are going to progress. I loved the cutting practice. Also, I'm wondering whether Perry knows that Jude is gay and if he really considers our future chef as nothing more than a frien... I love this fic;)

yes! i can review. ive been wanting to review since forever. i dont have an account yet, i havent gotten around to showing my id to these people, bah. so mentally add on 4 more reviews that say how awesome this storys been so far.
ok, i thought perry knew, even his girlfriend too. i mean, she said,'he pitys you.' i thought that was because he knew that jude loved him, but could never love jude back in the same way. SO if its not THAT, then why did she say that?... what, because jude has no "social life"???
or is there something else to jude to be pitied?
anyways, boy do i like dres. his name is different, is he irish/scottish or anything? he did have RED hair right, but no accent? anyways, i like him alot. mysterious, solemn. sad. hopefully jude and dres can help each other, it seems like they both need some healing... i dont want to push, but im hopen jude and dres get together! UH-HUH!

I was so glad to see this updated! Seems like I missed a chapter; where have I been? lol

Ahh, poor Jude. Perry may know about Jude and not care (it was pretty obvious if that's what Perry was talking about when he left). But it also seems when he was joking about Jude's new boss, there was no jealousy there.

I think Jude needs to talk to Perry, otherwise he's gonna spend eternity chasing after something that will never be and he will lose out on finding someone who can love him the way he wants to be loved.

Anyway, great two chapters! Dres is pretty nice giving up his free time to teach Jude to cook more.

Looking forward to more! :)
